You’d expect one of the world’s most visible superstars to lean into high fashion for a first meeting with the parents—but Taylor Swift took the opposite approach.

In June 2016, during her brief but much-discussed romance with Tom Hiddleston, the singer was photographed in Suffolk, England, meeting his mother, Diana Patricia Hiddleston.

Instead of couture or statement pieces, Taylor embraced a surprisingly down-to-earth look. This understated choice offered a rare glimpse into her off-duty, real-life style during that intensely public summer.

Taylor’s Casual Country Look: Knit Sweater, Burgundy Jeggings & Classic Chasseur Boots

The pop icon wore a white knit sweater with a pair of Black Orchid “Black Jewel” mid-rise jeggings in Malaga Wine. Taylor put up her disheveled hair in a “Myna” headband by Free People and clutched a Rebecca Minkoff “Mara” saddlebag.

Her outfit was topped with a quilted black jacket. She finished her look with a pair of Le Chameau “Chasseur” boots, perfect for strolling England’s green countryside.

Taylor’s Relaxed Look Shines in Classic Le Chameau “Chasseur” Boots

Taylor looked effortlessly natural—far more relaxed than her usual red-carpet polish—and her choice of Le Chameau “Chasseur” boots added a touch of timeless practicality, a classic field boot beloved for its nearly century-old craftsmanship and signature full-length zip.

If anything, it looks like Tom’s mom is pretty down-to-earth, which might be why Taylor dressed so casually for the encounter. The trio was spotted, along with some of Tom’s friends, enjoying a casual stroll on the beach.

If you’re sand-conscious and heading out for a relaxed stroll, Taylor’s Le Chameau “Chasseur” boots make perfect sense.

They are handcrafted in France by a single master bootmaker since 1927. The brand is known for its exceptionally durable, waterproof designs that blend practicality with quiet luxury.
